It's staying light longer and we are taking the opportunity to get well and truly upduffed, yes that's right, three BFPs in one day! That's the May bus for you.

Forgive me ladies but I must rush, DH is waiting to inseminate me!

Official test date Sarah :) will update later. No smiley face doesn't mean you didn't ov, I didn't get one last cycle but temping showed me oving :)

Good evening ladies. Sorry I haven't been around much this month, I haven't had a lot of time to come online for various reasons. Congratulations to all those who have had a BFP and commiserations to those who have had AF.

Brooke, best of luck for your hcg levels.

I am 13dpo today according to fertility friend and was also due AF. I wasn't sure if I had actually ovulated as the clearblue ovulation tests kept giving me a empty circle/low result. But an IC ovulation test did come up as positive in that time and from my BBT it would seem I ovulated, well, 13 days ago lol.

No AF so far. I have had a very tiny amount of spotting for the last few hours but it would usually have got a little heavier by now (sorry for TMI ).

Tbh I am not convinced that I am pregnant as my temps seem too low and indeed this morning, my temp fell to just above the coverline. On the other hand, the scant spotting is getting my hopes up unfairly. I will see what tomorrow and my temp then brings I think.

Hallo grand fwiw I really like the look of your chart! It doesn't matter that the actual temps aren't high. I do think people worry about the temps in themselves too much. What you want it the pattern and the shift, and from that chart it really looks like the shift is clear and being maintained! I hope the spotting is implantation and not af! Will xf!
broo I agree about it becoming so worrisome once you start learning the details. We can always miscarry for whatever reason but we must think positive! tries to follow own advice

Sarah let the shagathon begin!!!

Grand your charts looking good and I completely agree with plum. We do stress over every little detail of our charts. I think so long as there's a clear pattern then there's no real reason to worry. Also I think FF has correctly pinpointed ov. Fx for you.

Brooke thinking of you.

Carrot how are you doing?

I hope AF stays well away Grandhighwitch!

Hello grand I think your chart looks good. I've heard it's quite common for people not to get positives on OPKs, some people get quite a short surge of LH and if you aren't testing three times a day you might miss it. Fingers crossed for you, are you tempted to test or are you just going to wait and see if AF stays away?

Good to hear from you brooke, sorry you've had such a stressful time and hoping you get a good outcome at the end of this. Keep us updated.

Hope everyone is enjoying the bank holiday!!

Hi all. Hope you had a good weekend. I'm coming to the end of the fertile period at present, so my DH can soon have a rest . We're not doing too badly - EOD has been managed despite (1) a cold (2) broken down trains and (3) a toddler who only taken super short naps.

Almost time for the waiting to begin...

Hope Af Stays away tghw

Blood test went OK, levels have gone up around the 3000 mark they were, exactly 5w today...I feel absolutely horrendous. My hormones are insane, I keep breaking down thinking about dc1 and dc2, I haven't been there for them for over a week, I feel like such a crap mom, they didn't ask for me to be so unwell :(

Great news Brooke :) don't beat yourself up about not being able to focus entirely on your DCs, like you say you are unwell and need to take care of yourself for a while!

I agree with night, don't feel bad brooke! No one will blame you for being poorly! You have been through so much! Good news tho about the blood levels!!! Looking positive! Hopefully you will start to feel better
Grand I also think your chart looks good! Fx for you!
Nice to hear from you miissmartiin! You've changed your name again!
I'm home alone this week! Just realised when I looked at my chart that DH is back on cd 14 so now I'm hoping I do OV late again this month or else I'll miss my fertile window! Aaagh!!!! I'll try opk this month.
How was everyone's weekends?
I had a bit of a challenging time with the DSil who basically told me to stop trying for a baby as it's bad timing (I signed up for a big sport event in august) I think getting prego would quite frankly be a bloody good achievement right now! Ha!
However on a more positive note I had my 4yo niece for sleep over and had an amazing time with her! We are crazy together! I regress to being a child again!!! So fun!

hi everyone - hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend.

Brooke so glad your bloods have been good. your kids won't even remember next week that you were sick last week. so don't worry, plus we are allowed to be sick

have I missed any bfp over weekend?

I got my peak cbfm test this morning. so bd this morning, tomorrow day after and then skip a day according to smep
just back from a Cornwall trip so hopefully bringing back a little Cornish made baby today as well hehe

Well, I've just tested this morning at 12DPO and...it's a BFP!!

Hurray! Well done 88 spectacular news!

6dpo and a big temp drop. It was a really crappy night's sleep though so I'm blaming that rather than the more obvious explanation which is that af is, in her usual short as shit fashion, on her way after another 5day lp. Regardless of the progesterone. I managed about one hour in total last night. and my temp three hours later was a whole degree higher anyway

Wahoo congrats 88!

Yay 88! So so pleased for you! Xxx

Congratulations 88!!

Not sure who it was on here who said about walking being good for implantation? But if it's true I should have twins in my tummy the amount of walking we did yesterday!!

Seriously though, 10dpo and have my usual pre af slight crampiness so I don't think it's the case :(. Really wanted to be one of those women who gets pg straight after the HyCoSy! Xx

*88 woohoo big congrats!!

auto Sammy you don't know until AF arrives (which is the rubbish part) fx

well I have tried temping this month and its like the Rocky's! got peak reading yesterday on ovu cbfm. expected some sort of peak this morning and nada - so tried ovulation stick (clear blue) and back to low (empty circle). I'm sure I ovulate though as I had day 21 test which had high readings and I get twinges in right side. it just must be my temping skills - well that's what I'm going with as don't want another thing to worry about

exercise is good sammy gets the blood flowing to the uterus! Hope your hycosy went well x

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been completely missing for the bank holiday weekend, it's been a busy one! Hope all well?

88 CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! so happy for you

brooke I'm so sorry :-( i hope all goes well today and the pain subsides. Great news on the hcg rise! You aren't a bad mum at all

Yay for af buggering off sarah! Good luck for this cycle

Fx for you grand!! When are you going to test?

wish it's up to you when you try for a baby and no one else. And once you are pregnant all the events, bar crawls, weddings and sporting events you can no longer fully participate in don't matter because all you can think of is meeting your baby :-)

birchy I love cool conception place stories! A Cornish made baby would be awesome!

plum sorry for temp drop :-(

How are you cycle buddy night?

I think I'm definitely in the tww now, my af is due in 10 days

Congratulations 88!

GrandHighWitch, any update?

Auto, I would try not to worry about the low temp if you didn't get much sleep.

Fingers crossed for everyone in the 2ww!

88 congratulations such exciting news!

auto I wouldn't worry about the temp drop as you hardly had any sleep at all. One step at a time and you will definitely get there.

Birchy great news about your rising hcg levels. You're not an awful mum at all. You've not been well physically and emotionally so don't beat yourself up about it. Hope today goes well.

Sammy hope AF stays away from you. It's difficult when you've been trying for a long time but your turn will come and fx this is it.

Cd17 here and a temp drop so I haven't ovulated yet

I'm good thanks Carlton, testing this weekend! Hope you had a good weekend?

Anyone any good at reading charts. I said this morning I was going to ignore but had been playing on my mind.

Is my temp readings just so bad that you can't make head nor tail of this... (My initial thoughts)

I had my peak reading yesterday so should my temp hve spiked above other temps I recorded if I did ovulate? Or is it still to early to tell what is going on?

Congratulations 88!!!!!
